The general principle is that laws prohibit rather than permit. A minor may be allowed to carry by no mention of such a prohibition. An assertion of nonexistence cannot be sustained without examination of the entire universe of discussion.

It is very likely that you will run into wildlife if you are going to be hiking and/or camping, so I would urge you to also bring an air-horn. An air-horn can diffuse most wildlife "situations" without the need to use lethal force against an animal(s).

Are there any constraints on OC? From what I'm reading if I'm CC that the gun must be unloaded, doesn't matter that the mags are 2 inches away from it, just that it must be unloaded...

As far as vehicle transportation goes, it'll be locked and in the trunk no matter what...

Per RSA 159:4; the only "constraints" on unlicensed carry are as follows:

1) No LOADED carry (open or concealed) within a motor vehicle. If you have a revolver it means no rounds in the cylinder. If you have a pistol it means no round in the chamber, AND no loaded magazine inserted into the pistol.

2) When outside a motor vehicle, no concealed carry of a LOADED pistol or revolver (per the above criteria in #1).

Enjoy your time in New Hampshire.

I will be hiking and camping in the White Mountains, are there laws concerning possession of certain calibers in state forests? I only ask because in CT, if it's not in season and you don't have the appropriate license/permit for the season and you're carrying any pistol over .22 you can get charged with some hard stuff...

Not a problem in NH. It's what we call a Free State. Just be very careful driving through Mass. Do not do anything to get pulled over or attract attention. Mass does not care about interstate travel laws.
